I noticed in the Herald Sun yesterday they had a collective noun "a detox of Eagles". I was wondering if anyone could come up with some collective nouns to describe clubs or supporters of clubs.

'A Murder of Crows' is actually the correct collective noun for that particular bird.:thumbsu:

Let's hope that one never has any spooky connections to the footy club.
